We westerners all have a good laugh at some thai names, like a girl named porn, then there's a Thai football playerby the name of Terdsak.

Putting the boot on the other foot some thais have a good laugh at westerners names, like the name Jim for instance, i bet the thai people crack up at this one, because ‘Jim’ (or Gym) translates to a slang word for Vagina

Thanks for the reply T/T - toy boy yes that's good. sometimes Thai children are given nicknames after the order in which they were born into the family i.e. one, two, three, Did you know or should i say, rumor has it that the reason for the nicknames is due to superstition, that by using the real name of a baby might draw the attention to evil spirits Even if the baby was cute n lovely, give it an ugly name and any evil spirits around would assume the baby was not worth their attention.
